Rodney Allison, North Valley Hat Co.

Rodney Allison is owner and Master Hatter at North Valley Hat Company.

His contribution to the hat industry is education and construction of quality hats. "I keep asking the suppliers of raw materials to furnish hatters with high quality goods, such as fur felt hat bodies, high quality leathers, gross grain ribbon, etc.

In an industry where I have seen quality drop and prices rise, I truly feel that higher prices should reflect a higher quality.

I keep it straight, (50 percent beaver, 100 percent beaver) explain to consumers what my hats are made of, and I explain what a high quality hat is about. I also provide hatters with tips and instructions on high quality hats.

My hope is that the hat industry grows by way of smaller hatters. I would like to see hatters step back in time and make higher quality headwear. When people see my hats they get inspired to make a higher quality product."

Dusty Hart comes from a family whose Western heritage dates back to when Monterey was the Capitol of California. Theirs is a rich and colorful history of ranching, trading, and artistry. Dusty shares his affinity for this earlier time in his portrayal of a Singing Cowboy as he entertains folks at Western Festivals across the country with his band, The Cross Town Cowboys. Just as his songwriting reflects the spirit of the Old West, his lamp designs are also inspired by Western life. In 1949, Dusty’s grandfather established the California foundry in which these hand-cast metal lamps are made. Each design is sculpted by a master mold maker – many by Dusty himself. The lamps are created in the time-honored tradition of hand-poured molten metal and made to last for generations. Each one is hand-rubbed to a lustrous bronze patina, becoming a functional work of art. Visit their website at www.westernlamps.net

Carolyn Hendel became interested in rugs while backpacking through Europe and Turkey in her 20s. After completing graduate studies in English Literature, she began her rug career by washing and restoring rugs in Delaware. She later went into retail and wholesale selling of hand-woven rugs in New York City and later in Santa Fe, NM where she received certification as a Rug Appraiser.

While working in Santa Fe, Carolyn met, and later worked with Richard Enzer, a charismatic rug dealer who traveled the world designing and dyeing rugs in the weaving studios he set up in Oaxaca, Mexico and later in Romania. Richard began a Rug Line featuring Southwestern and Navajo style designs that became known as Line of the Spirit.

In 2005 Carolyn bought Line of the Spirit from Richard and focused on making custom rugs for interior designers, eliminating some of the busier elements of Richard’s designs, creating a sharper, more contemporary Southwestern look. In 2008 she added a Pile Collection, made in Nepal. Both will be available for purchase at the WESTFEST.

Sadly, cancer caught up with Carolyn in 2010 and she died quite quickly last June. Her business is currently seeking a Buyer to carry on the momentum and love that Carolyn put into it. If interested, either in the business, or in purchasing rugs, contact the office at 719-256-4739.
